A vision made tangible is a vision made real.

Unlike most corporate training/team-building programs that are watered down because they’re designed for infinite scale, this workshop is the real deal because of the value Rhonda brings by 1) knowing all the data behind the activities, and 2) a communication style that meets everyone where they’re at.

You cannot simply think your way to change. Visual reminders work According to research done by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), when people are reminded regularly of their goals and the image of their "future self," they are more likely to make decisions that align with their long-term desires, increasing goal attainment by up to 40%.

Our Tangible Visioning Workshops are a creative, hands-on experience designed to help you bring your dreams into reality—while having fun along the way! We’ll work with a variety of tools, from sentimental items such as family heirlooms and keepsakes to playful objects like LEGO® or other nostalgic items. You’ll create a tangible, visual representation of your goals, allowing you to touch, feel, and interact with your future vision in a meaningful way.

What You'll Gain:

  • Clarity and Focus: Clearly define your personal and professional goals, turning abstract ideas into concrete action plans.

  • Increased Motivation: With physical reminders of your vision, your motivation will stay strong, helping you remain focused on your long-term aspirations.

  • A Deeper Connection to Your Goals: Working with tangible objects—whether a cherished family heirloom or a playful LEGO® structure—strengthens your emotional connection to your future self.

  • Fun and Healing: Our workshops are not just about goal setting—they are about rediscovering joy and healing through the creative process. Engaging with personal artifacts and imaginative tools helps unlock deeper insights and emotional healing.

  • Actionable Steps: You’ll leave our workshops with a clear, personalized roadmap to guide you toward your goals.

Why Tangible Visioning Works:

Visualization is more than just a theory—it’s backed by science. When you create a physical representation of your future self, you're more likely to stay aligned with that vision. It’s one thing to imagine your goals, but it’s something entirely different to see them come to life in front of you. Whether through the symbolism of sentimental items or the creativity of toys like LEGO®, these tangible reminders help anchor your dreams in the present, making your future feel more real, accessible, and within reach.

How It Works:

Our workshops are interactive and deeply personal; you’ll engage in a series of fun and reflective exercises that incorporate a mix of sentimental, nostalgic, and creative objects. You might bring in a family heirloom, a cherished trinket, or even a toy from your childhood—anything that holds meaning to you. These items will serve as powerful touchstones to help you clarify your vision. You'll leave with:

  • A personalized vision board or tangible artifact that captures your future self

  • A set of actionable, step-by-step goals to help guide you toward your vision

  • Techniques to continue working with your tangible reminders to stay motivated and on track

  • A renewed sense of joy, healing, and connection with your deeper desires

I was surprised that I could actually build anything because I’ve NEVER had any kind of vision for LEGO®. [The workshop] surprised me by helping me to articulate my goals and zero in on one thing.
